11 Struggles Only Redheads Can Really Understand

Being born with red hair is quite the curse blessing. While you automatically stand out in a crowd (win!), you're also prone to some pretty hilarious stereotypes. The struggle is real. Here are 11 issues all redheads can relate to:

2. The number of times you're asked if the carpet matches the drapes is unfathomable. In what world is it appropriate to walk up to someone and say, "Hey, what color are your pubes?" Can we please get it together already, guys? No one approaches brunettes and blondes all pervy-like. A little respect s'il vous plait.

10. Finding the right eyebrow pencil can be difficult AF. There are about 50 shades of brown and blonde, but red hues are about as easy to come by as a redhead who's tan. Cool Sephora, very cool.

11. Dry shampoo has a way of making your hair look slightly pink. That tint of white residue that comes with most dry shampoos leaves your locks looking more pastel than ruby. But look on the brightside: Your natural color is one that so many women have tried to replicate with hair dye, and that's one struggle you'll never have to worry about!
